On February 18, seven members of the British Parliament resigned from the Labour Party, citing what they called “institutional antisemitism.” Two more followed just days later. Though dramatic, the split came as little surprise: the Labour Party has been rocked by charges of antisemitism since Jeremy Corbyn became party leader in 2015. Ella Rose, former National Director of the Jewish Labour Movement, joins us to discuss the political fallout of the split and what it means for the future of the Labour Party. Then, on "The Battle for Balfour," Walla! News Political Correspondent Tal Shalev joins us to discuss the latest political developments in Israel ahead of the April 9 national election.
